IOM America is a tax-deductible 501c(3) nonprofit with the goal of helping members of the body of
Christ to experience, mature in, and communicate effectively the message of
identification with Christ in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension in
their various spheres of influence. Our ministry comes by way of a 3-Fold
Vision: Biblical Worldview, Discipleship & Training and the Exchanged Life
Global Initiative. All three fold into
the International Fellowship of Exchanged Life E-Community (IFEL). More at: www.X-ChangedLife.org
Fold 1: Worldview Development
It is our confession that worldview is
birthed through personal identity! This
is why it is critical for our readers to first understand who they are in
Christ before they can lead another in such a discovery. With this in mind, we aim to gently message
the identification truths of co-death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into
all aspects of ministry communication.
It is our experience that if any ministry or its workers focus on
worldview issues before they gain an experiential understanding the power of the Cross,
these workers could actually lead the Church away from the Truth that will set
them free.
Fold 2: Discipleship and Training
Our primary objective is to equip
individuals for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ and to assist in
empowering men, women, children, and families to have a greater impact on the
communities they serve. This is accomplished by providing Christ-centered,
Bible-based guidance and training that focuses on issues pertaining to the
indwelt Christian's identity in Christ.
We press forward to show individuals their
freedom from enslaving mental, emotional, and spiritual conflicts by placing a
special emphasis on IDENTITY MATTERS. The discipleship style is direct, honest
and truly biblical.
Whether you are already trained, or are
just getting started in the equipping process of the Christ as Life ministry, I
encourage you to learn more about how we can assist you in your ministry
calling. The enrichment from these courses is applicable in your personal life
and relationships from the first course on.
One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is by signing up for our
weekly e-mails, where you will receive articles from Exchanged Life writers
from all parts of the world. Just click on “IOM Weekly E-Mail Service.”
Fold 3: Exchanged Life Global Initiative
The ministry of IOM has adopted the project
of the Exchanged Life Global Initiative, which has provided the ministry with a
proactive pro-vision, in order to revitalize the worldview of uniting Exchanged
Life workers throughout the entire world. In addition to our existing strong
partnerships, we welcome the partnerships of other ministries that focus on the
message of the Exchanged Life to join our efforts! To learn more: click on Exchanged Life Global
Initiative on menu bar on our website.
Truly Christ-As-Life
We press forward to show individuals their
freedom from enslaving mental, emotional and spiritual conflicts by placing a
special emphasis on IDENTITY MATTERS. The discipleship style is direct, honest
and truly biblical.
Each ministry outreach is designed to provide the learner with an experience that centers upon the integration process of strong biblical Truth, faith, and what IOM coins as Transformational Biblical Worldview & Exchanged Life Development. The indwelt Christian will become more established and pronounced in their Christian faith and become acutely aware of their self-life behavior and how it wars against the Word of God.
This counseling/discipleship is offered to all - Christians and non-Christians alike. It is particularly helpful for those interested in learning how to effectively use the Word of God in a discipleship/ministry setting, in gaining personal help, as well as furthering oneself in the equipping process of being a minister of the Gospel. We use a method we call "Components of Discipleship."

What is the Exchanged Life Global Initiative Project?
The ministry
of IOM has adopted the proposal of the Exchanged Life Global Initiative, which
has provided the ministry with a proactive pro-vision, in order to revitalize
the worldview of uniting Exchanged Life workers throughout the entire world. In
addition to our existing strong partnerships - we
welcome the partnerships other ministries that focus on the message of the
Exchanged Life to join our efforts!
Our efforts
strongly hinge on the International Fellowship of Exchanged Life: an
e-community that will provide Exchanged Life workers throughout the world with
a single online community that will provide: promotions of member web sites,
social networks throughout, a separate members’ Exchanged Life bookstore, chat
room for members, class registration from member to member and much much more.
IOM America
is in the process of outsourcing plans to design, develop, and host IOM
America’s two websites (IOM’s general site & International Fellowship
of Exchanged Life (IFEL). In fact, "story board" meetings are being
conducted in several states with Exchanged Life ministries that are backing the
vision. This will be a concept to
completion production.
The existing IOM web site was originally designed and produced with the basic model and classic web site look but until our project is complete, our website is routed to Dr. Phinney’s blog spot, which is where you are reading this. We have been told that we are pushing the edges of Blog-spot and this site is not structurally sound enough to bear the weight of our Global Initiative. So - we have a need to work quickly.
